A new diagnostic approach based on wavenumber-frequency spectral analysis was proposed for the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (ISO). The wave characteristics of the MJO, the northwestward-propagating ISO in the ...

One of the primary uncertainties in measuring aerosol optical depths from satellite is in the choice of the aerosol phase function. Various investigators have suggested the ratio of AVHRR channels 1 and 2 could be used to ...

The mechanism of the intraseasonal oscillation in the South Asian summer monsoon region (ISO) is examined with a zonally averaged, atmospheric model (2D model), a three dimensional, atmospheric intermediate model (3D model). ...

Modeling sugarcane growth in response to age of cane, insolation and air temperature using first-order multiple regression analysis and a non-linear approach is investigated. Cane yield data in each method are restricted ...

The effects of the cloud nucleus size distribution and number concentration on rain initiation from shallow maritime warm clouds are examined in a one-dimensional, time-dependent cylindrical cloud model. Calculations include ...

A simple climate model is proposed for studying the key parameters of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system, monthly mean surface winds and precipitation. In this model, sea-level pressure is thermodynamically determined ...

Dynamics of vortex propagation and associated asymmetric gyres for a vortex being embedded in a resting environment and environmental flows on a beta-plane is investigated with a FSU regional model and a shallow-water ...

The relationship between intraseasonal disturbance activity (cluster of disturbances) 'and interannual variation of tropical atmosphere is investigated using five years (1979-83) of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and ...

In extratropical regions, especially during the cold seasons, the most dominant dynamic modes of atmospheric variability are the annular modes, which include the Arctic Oscillation (AO) or the North Atlantic Oscillation ...

A two-dimensional, time dependent, numerical model of the atmospheric boundary layer is formulated and used to investigate various characteristics of air motion when a change occurs in the roughness of the underlying ...
